Though small in size, Panarea brims with charm — its volcanic hills, terraced farmland, and car-free lanes in San Pietro create a dreamy, resort-like atmosphere where you can wander past whitewashed houses, chic boutiques, and lively cafes. Summer nights bring the island alive with music from the famous Hotel Raya, but the real draw is the coastline: from the glass-clear waters of Cala Junco and the sandy Cala de Zimmari to the steaming springs at Spiaggia della Calcara, beaches here are nothing short of magical. Snorkellers and divers will find shipwrecks and rich marine life offshore, while hikers can climb Punta del Carvo for panoramic views, though for most, simply soaking in the island’s slow, sunlit rhythm is adventure enough.

Panarea (Lipari)
A cliffside hotel with its own private staircase to the beach. Simple whitewashed walls and airy terraces conceal a salt-water pool and hot tub both offering breathtaking views. Interiors are unfussy yet smart, echoing classic seaside simplicity, and the top quality cuisine is a real draw.
Panarea
A very sophisticated island hotel meant for total relaxation, though there's sailing, diving and a nightclub. Chic rooms, suites, and a private villa all in white with attractive fabrics and private terraces. Spectacular views from the roof top restaurant. Romance on a peninsula.
Panarea (Panarea)
A small boutique hotel set on the small and beautiful island of Panarea. Chic rooms feature white on white style juxtaposed by elegant dark wood furniture and blue tiling. A large terrace is ideal for soaking in the spectacular views and there's a quaint Sicilian restaurant and a spa too.
